Summary
22-year-old Tyler Sorensen is accused of intentionally running 20-year-old Costco co-worker Jonathon Langdon off the road in Issaquah, killing him and drawing a second-degree murder charge.
Police say Sorensen acted in a jealous rage after seeing Langdon hug a female co-worker; surveillance video showed his car speeding through the Costco parking lot and nearly hitting both of them.
Court documents say Sorensen later struck Langdon's motorcycle on Lake Drive, sending him into a metal post; Langdon died at the scene, and Sorensen returned after his father brought him back.
Investigators said Sorensen told police he meant to "spook" Langdon and had texted friends that his blood was boiling, while the woman told officers she never dated him and had asked for space.
King County prosecutors set bail at $2 million and said the charge could still be amended as the investigation develops.
